“GNU, n. An animal of South Africa, which in its domesticated state resembles a horse, a buffalo and a stag. In its wild condition it is something like a thunderbolt, an earthquake and a cyclone.A hunter from Kew caught a distant view Of a peacefully meditative gnu, And he said: "I'll pursue, and my hands imbrue In its blood at a closer interview." But that beast did ensue and the hunter it threw O'er the top of a palm that adjacent grew; And he said as he flew: "It is well I withdrew Ere, losing my temper, I wickedly slew That really meritorious gnu." --Jarn Leffer”
Ambrose Bierce
“Needless to say, I'm out of the business. I only do it this time of year because a lot of guys don't like to go stag to Christmas parties.”
Chenoa Inman
“We talked before the game that we wanted to come to the last three minutes and have a chance. We didn't want to lose contact with them. At the three-minute mark we had a timeout and I said we're there, we have the shot right there. They (the Stags) stepped up and made plays down the stretch. That's what good ball teams do.”
John Giesler
“He jumped like a stag, travelled great and loved the soft ground.”
